That is what I thought, except the BA bag has a stuff sack that is 4-5 time larger than it's "compressed volume". Anyway I think you guys confirmed my suspicion that these bags probably can be compressed roughly the same amount and the compressed volume figure is more or less meaningless.

I am about 1/2 inch taller than BA's regular's max size of 70 inches so I was probably going with the MH regular's 72 inches, which should fit me nice. Was just thrown off by it's large compressed volume.

Oh and I don't usually use a stuff sack, just stuff it loose in my pack.

Thanks for the input.
